Spring Breaking Up.....

Stayed almost for 2 long years in USA as a student working almost like a full time employee with my doctor boss…I am still not able to cultivate the concept of break Yet another Spring break.. comes and guess will pass by without any events..I always keep wondering at what we break up from..Are we supposedly trying to refuse to look at the mundane work that we would be doing otherwise..what stops for the break..to me and to many other of my fellow NRI students break is a chance of extra work and more money. the other day my Prof stops me on the pathway to ask what am I doing for spring break..I was going to say “may be your research L…firstly it is not yet spring for buffalo’s weather to feel the softness and freshness..secondly my payroll doesn’t work acc to the school schedule to say iam taking off for spring break..Over all I don’t see anyone having a gala time in the nearby neighborhood..no kids outside and no parents having an extra walk (work doesn’t go for a break..)in the day..for spring break is only for the UG/Grad “kids” and not for the “high school kids” at the same time....One significant difference I see is UB being apparently vacated for our comfort..I can park anywhere in the campus..even just outside my lab J…have the choicest of the computer…play my music slightly at a higher volume…talk on the phone in my lab at my privileged time..
The concept of meeting parents is far fetched for the NRI s ...and to meet friends at other places I wonder how synchronized is the break for the other univs..one of my friend is done with her spring break..and the other one is starting next week..Y got o a different place but even inside buffalo there r schools which have breaks a little apart..I wonder at all the possibilities and finally take my guts front to talk to my Prof about taking off for a day before the weekend esp. because I had a long vacation last month to visit India..Surprisingly my boss is in the loveliest of mood and says a straight YES!!! Now I have to think where should I go..Iam looking out of the window to see snow flurries going so strong…I wanna goto a place where there is nothing white..no cold..lets go to CA,Portland..oregon…Arizona….half the day passes in pondering over where to go..Finally I decide I should be going to CA as my uncle calls up and says..”hey honey..y don’t u come home ..u shud be having ur Spring break now..”yea may be..now comes the next tremor….tickets..shud I tell him..”yea if u wud sponsor for the tkts ;) …One month prior booking would cost as high as 250 bucks..for some reason we students never seem to be not cribbing for money anytime..probably the conversion takes its wild gigantic look when we spend something lump…finally I hit at a website which allows me to bet on the tkt and voila!!!!!!!…iam fortunate for a change to get something normal for such a distance…yea I decide to click on the “Buy Now”..my dearest friend calls me over fone…”hey dear..its been long.. we have nt met for a while and we seem to be moving apart ever since u were back from India…lets spend as much time together as possible this break..no excuses no reasons..”cling..goes the fone down…yea that makes sense.. haven’t met this guy as often as we used to…. after I was back..we gotto catch up..….Wow….So nice to find the sweetest of ur friend to have some plans remembering your spring break….The fact that Iam not sure of my whereabouts after my graduation seemed to make more sense to spend time with him now…the page expires by the time all the action is over..Toss for the ticket..250 bucks saved..say bbye to my uncle..we can meet in the next break...”someone is knocking on my door..somebody is calling me “bhooma…may be its my friend who called up sometime back ..he decided to come home straight. So sweet of him…how loving..”as I slowly get up ...and there goes the alarm...”its 8’o clock..u gotto get to work..i made tea for you already…”..I open my eyes to see that everything was happening in a completely different world....that was a dream which strikes everyone on a Sunday nite….i see my beloved roomie there keeping the hot cup of beverage on my table.......its yet another Monday Morning. The Monday of my Spring Break Starting….Ghosh…I am gonna be late to work ..I got a meeting …I can imagine how my boss would stare at me with his list of duties….we go over those blues every Monday morning… Yet another exciting spring break week…….
